Petty Theft
Dear Sir,
If students are supposed to represent persons with a higher level of intelligence than the norm, then why must they sink to pocketing such items as pens, pencil cases etc when they are left in lecture rooms or labs. Is it too much to ask for them to tell a demonstrator or take the junk to the caretaker or the Enquiry Desk in Rankine Brown.
A pencil case full of pens etc can be as dear as $8 (it was in my case) or a set of dissecting tools, $5. God knows that's a lot of cash so how about handing other people's lost property in. It may happen to you someday.
Yours peeved,
